Adopt A Pet from the Lassen
County Animal Shelter – Spumoni
Hey! I’m Spumoni – your next best friend!
I’m a 2-year-old American Bully with a BIG personality packed into my short, solid frame (yep, over 55 pounds of pure charm). I’m neutered, up to date on all my shots, heartworm negative, and most importantly—ready to bring a whole lot of fun and love into your life!
I’m kind of a goofball, if I’m being honest. I’ve got a knack for making people laugh with my silly antics and over-the-top personality.

When visitors come by the kennels, I make sure to put on a show—because why not? Life’s too short not to have a little fun.
I’d be happiest as the only pet in the house (I like to soak up ALL the attention) and would do best with someone who knows their way around us bully breeds. I promise to fill your days with smiles, tail wags, and plenty of unforgettable moments.
So, what do you say? Ready for a daily dose of laughter and love? I’m waiting to meet you.
Please contact the Lassen County Animal Shelter with questions/inquiries at 1.530.257.9200.

February 24, 1976
Getting Track in Shape. Members of the Sierra Racing Association with cooperation from the Lassen County Fair Board and help form the Susanville office of California National Guard among others, are working hard the next several weeks to make the track at the fairgrounds better than ever for the 1976 season.
According to spokeswoman Pat McPherson “We are packing clay on the track in able to have a good running surface.” The National Guard, with Dennis Thompson (pictured above) driving caterpillar is providing much of the labor. A caterpillar has also been donated by the 44 Ranch, Elysian Valley, with Ken Goforth doing the driving.
Volunteers Bob Reuck, Don Vache and John Bertanelli have been donating their time and dump trucks to haul the clay in and Leroy Jacobs has donated a loader and grader. The clay is also being donated.
Mrs. McPherson said that construction is expected to be completed by the second week in February. The races are scheduled to start in early April.
“The Lassen County Fair Board has agreed to maintain the track, once it is fixed up,” explained Mrs. McPherson.
The Sierra Racing Association is currently looking for new members.
